Residents hail Ambode’s roads repair

Some residents of Abule Egba yesterday lauded Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode for fulfilling his pledge to repair the inner roads used during the construction of Abule Egba Bridge.

Contractors have moved to site to begin the rehabilitation of the inner roads in Abule Egba including Charity Road.

The rehabilitation of the roads is expected to further enhance traffic flow in the area, which since the opening of the flyover has improved movement around the axis.

A resident of Ile-Ogbo in Abule Egba, Mrs Temitope Oyekunle, praised the governor for keeping his words, saying the development has brought relief to people of the area.

“On the day of the commissioning of the Abule Egba Bridge when Governor Ambode made the pronouncement that our roads would be fixed, personally I expressed doubt judging by the number of projects that have been carried out in our axis by his administration but true to the Governor’s words, contractors moved to site as announced and they are working at a fast pace.

“I just want to commend the Governor for this and urge him to keep up the good works,” Oyekunle said.

Another resident, Mr Olakunle Joseph said the quality of work being done on the inner roads was commendable, and it shows the seriousness of the government of the day to truly transform all parts of the State.

Mrs Tolani Festus, who is a shop owner in the area, said the transformation being witnessed in Abule Egba and its environs was unprecedented in the history of the state.
